As a longtime Camarillo resident and taxpaying supporter of the Camarillo Health Care District, I must voice my utter disappointment and dismay in its decision to cancel the contract renting space to the Jazzercise program.

As an entity that promotes health and wellness, the health care district should understand that fitness is an important aspect of living our best lives. The mental and physical benefits of Jazzercise workouts are well documented.

This is a popular class, with many participants meeting three times a week, while classes with only a few attendees (Bone Builders, for example) have been kept.

Phone calls to management have yielded no credible answers to our questions regarding this abrupt cancellation. There are plenty of offices sitting empty, and we are told there is no plan to replace this program with anything else.

This seems to be more about management's personal agenda rather than continuing to provide the community with a popular health-based program.

Sue Gerhardt, Camarillo
